The petition of the Troy, N. Y.. conference to the geperal confer | ence. in session at Omalia, Neb., seems to have caused a storm all over country, and petition after petition was poured into the conference and on the committee on the state of the church. Memorials from Illinois, Kansas, Ohio, New York, Missouri and Tennessee were filed. and California, Colorado and Michigan join in a protest. members of that committee said that the committee had thought of simply restoring the paragraph to its former status and allowing the young to amuse themselves according to their own con- sciences, but, in view of the opposition which has been manifest, the committee will take no action. —— Odd Fellows’ Report The official report to the Odd Fellows’ Convention at Sunbury contains these of working increase in number during the number of members in good 101.258; net increase during the year, 3.425; brothers re. lieved, 14.313; number of families relieved, 603; amount paid for relief in total during the year in Penn. sylvania, $588,240.15; assets of workin lodges inthe state, 83 407 428.73; increase during the vear of $113,075.73.

O. O, F. of this state was financially distressed and unable to meet its obligations promptly. Last week, at the annual session of the Grand Lodge, at Sunbury, the report submit ted showed that there was no founda tion for such a statement and is a mis. representation. This order is recognized as one of the strongest and is in better standing to-day than ever. —— i —— Fleod Commision’ The final meeting of the Johnstown the | Several | | COWARDICE IN THE SENATE, | $14 a ton on binding twine.

Oharged with Using the Secretary's Name to Ald Alger. Wasmivarox, May 24. Secretary Blaine's trip to New York has no politi- cal significance. The statement that he goes over to see his new granddaughter only partly explains the reason for his journey. The secretary is troubled with an affection of the eyes which has re cently become quite serious, and he goes to New York for the purpose of consult. ing a specialist in diseases of that char. acter. He expects to be absent for a couple of days only. In speaking of the matter he said: ‘1 never knew until I waa 60 years old that 1 had such an or gan as the eye, judging from any un. usual feeling there. But latterly my eyes have been troubling me, and I have felt constrained to take advice as to their treatment.” A close friend and admirer of Presi dent Harrison, speaking of the efforts being made by the amtagonists of the president to defeat his renomination by the use of the name of Secretary Blaine said: “The object of the movement is per fectly plain. These gentlemen do not have the remotest expectation that Sec. retary Blaine iy accept the nom ination, even if it were tendered him They would be the most surprised and disgusted lot of politicians in the coun. try if that were to be the result of their machine works. They have in view and that is the substance of the whole movement, is the nomination of General Alger. They know that when Secretary Blaine has been nominated and declined, that General Alger is probably the only man of prominence who would accept the nomination, Hence it would be tendered him by acclamation.” New York, May 34. Secretary James G., Blaine arrived here at 9.40 last night, In response to] inguiry the secretary | stated that he came wholly on pri- vate business. He intended to have his eyes attended to, and he wished further more to see his little grand hter. His coming, he said, had absolutely no political significance, Death of Young W. H.
